• Q: How to service the steering angle sensor on 2006 Toyota Solara?

  A: Service of the steering angle sensor starts by disconnecting the negative battery terminal and properly aligning the front wheels straight ahead. After removing the steering wheel cover lower No.2 and No.3 you should proceed to the horn button assembly before extracting the steering wheel assembly. Special Service Tool: 09950-50013 (09951-05010, 09952-05010, 09953-05020, 09954-05021) enables removal of the steering column cover lower before removing the steering column cover along with the spiral cable sub-assembly to access the steering sensor by disconnecting its connector while extracting it through pressing the two claws. Installation starts with putting in the steering sensor followed by its connector attachment while maintaining the front wheels at a straight alignment. First install the spiral cable sub-assembly and accurately position the cable before putting back the steering wheel assembly. The vehicle needs both the battery's negative terminal reconnection and replacement of the horn button assembly before checking for correct operation of the horn button assembly and SRS warning light system. The procedure requires initialization as reconnecting the negative battery terminal requires the initialization of other systems.
